Bush Shills Neolib Nightmare in Brazil

Sunday November 06th 2005, 11:46 am

 

 

" President Bush acknowledged Sunday that he has more work to do to

persuade Brazil of the value of a vast proposed free-trade zone for

the Western Hemisphere, " reports ABC News. Brazilian President Luiz

Inacio Lula da Silva has " got to be convinced, just like the people of

America must be convinced, that a trade arrangement in our hemisphere

is good for jobs, it's good for the quality of life, " Bush said. Of

course, the exact opposite is true and a lot of people in Brazil and

elsewhere in Latin America realize it.

 

In Bushzarro world, neoliberal schemes to steal natural resources and

reduce millions of people to slaves are portrayed as " good for jobs "

(or jobs that pay 60 cents an hour or less) and " quality of life " (so

long as the slaves don't mind eking out a radically diminished

existence in sprawling, crime-wracked barrios, spending half of their

income on clean drinking water).

 

Bush and ABC News, of course, never mention facts. Even the World

Bank, the neoliberal loan sharking institution now run by the neocon

gangster Paul Wolfowitz, admits " that since the inauguration of NAFTA

(1994-2000) the number of working people living below the poverty line

[in Mexico] has risen to 36 million persons or 62% of the economically

active population. Over this period the real minimum wage has fallen

by 40.7%, " writes the political economist John W. Warnock. As a

result, thousands of desperate Mexicans are streaming over the U.S.

border in search of work and creating a crisis in border states from

Texas to California.

 

Mexico, however, is unable to compete with the massive forced labor

camp in China, where wages are one-fourth of Mexico's. " China is doing

nothing but embracing globalization, " explains NewsMax. In other

words, the totalitarian state of China, where people are executed for

complaining, is the preferred template for neolib planners and

multinational corporations.

 

So much for communism and its promised paradise for the working class.

 

" The Chinese elites as well as the multinational corporations are the

real winners of U.S.-China trade relations, " explains China Labor

Watch. " For example, a typical article of clothing produced for one of

the big multinational brands in a Chinese factory at a cost of $5 will

be sold to the U.S. consumer for as much as $40. And the total

compensation for the labor of the Chinese worker who made it will be

less than 80 cents. For these reasons, it's easy to understand why the

multinationals are so eager to move orders and production lines to China. "

 

Bush's " free trade zone " (or pirate zone for multinational

corporations) " will give unequalled new rights to the transnational

corporations of the hemisphere to compete for and even challenge every

publicly funded service of its governments, including health care,

education, social security, culture and environmental protection, " as

Maude Barlow characterized the so-called Free Trade Area of the

Americas in 2001. In other words, if Bush's " trade bloc stretching

from Alaska to Argentina, " as ABC terms it, is accepted and ratified,

millions of people will be living in increased squalor and misery. But

then, of course, that's what the New World Order is all about—reducing

billions of people to peonage and laboring away in abysmal conditions

for 60 cents and hour (or less) on a huge multinational plantation. It

is, however, a tenuous peonage eventually terminating in unemployment

and abject poverty—and thus, eventually, reducing millions of people

to the status of throw-away humans. Pierre Bourdieu writes of the

" Darwinian world " of NWO neoliberalism:

 

The ultimate foundation of this entire economic order placed under

the sign of freedom is in effect the structural violence of

unemployment, of the insecurity of job tenure and the menace of layoff

that it implies. The condition of the " harmonious " functioning of the

individualist micro-economic model is a mass phenomenon, the existence

of a reserve army of the unemployed.

 

Neoliberalism is a form of global feudalism controlled and run by

corporate overlords who " manage " the " investments " of a tiny number of

super-rich investors. In the neoliberal nightmare envisioned by the

NWO planners, " [o]verall policies are to be set by non-elected,

corporate-dominated commissions; the world's economy, information and

working conditions are to be managed directly by megacorps;

governmental function is to shrink down to administrative matters and

police-management of the populace, " writes Richard K. Moore. " All this

to be enforced globally by an elite-dominated strike force built

around the U.S. military and NATO. " As Moore sees it, the " American

people, in their habitual credulity, are the most effectively

mesmerized by the media mythology they are fed via television. America

is a kind of 'safe house' for NWO operations. "

 

In fact, America is not only a " safe house " for NWO operations, it is

the final destination of rapacious neolib economic policies, a coup de

grâce for what remains of liberty in America. Bush and his technocrats

had their mock trial run in New Orleans—a fascistic experiment of

" contractors " herding citizens into " evacuee " camps and taking away

their guns—and the bogus bird flu " pandemic " may provide additional

hands-on training exercises in totalitarian police state tactics.

 

Of course, these tactics will be necessary if the neolib controllers,

working in tandem with multinational corporations under the aegis of

" free trade " (unrestrained piracy), are to eventually realize their

nightmarish vision of turning the planet into a global labor gulag

where minerals are strip mined ruthlessly and entire rain forests

" harvested " for the benefit of an infinitesimal number of super-rich

vampires. When human life is thus degraded and considered of little

intrinsic value, the unmistakable result will be mass extermination of

the " useless eaters " created in the millions, as their labor will no

longer be of value and in fact the mere existence of millions of

unemployed and unemployable will be perceived as a dire threat by the

NWO managers. Even in China, where the vanguard of neoliberalism

flourishes, workers are beginning to revolt in increasing numbers. If

there is hope for humanity, it is in the fact people eventually rebel

against inhumane conditions, even against apparently insurmountable odds.
